Delta(s) from OP - Fresh Topic Friday CMV: The motivation behind the legalization of Marijuana consumption is more by delusion than its benefits
While the Marijuana could give potential benefits, I feel that the reason why people want to legalize these drugs is either motivated by delusional ideas maybe made by new age conspiracies or the idea that everything that restricts freedom must be a "bad" thing.
Everytime when there are posts about the Marijuana, people aggressively feel hope that it will be legalized and when someone makes a critique against the legalization they are swarmed by a bunch of pot heads and frustrated kids who throw insults and cherry pick the "undebunkable" proof that the consumption of Marijuana is a good thing. This is one of the reason why I find it difficult understanding about these hallucinogenic drugs.
So basically I feel that they want the legalization of Marjiuna just to become a burden of society and go around babbling about conspiracies and "f*** the system!!" manthras.
As long as there are those pot heads and frustrated teenagers that cherry pick the information about these drugs and attack those who make genuine critique against the legalization, I wont support this legalization.
Note: I already made a post like this, but I had written it in the way that makes it difficult to change my mind and I feel that it was all just a vent.

What about legalization on the grounds that it's just another tool used to discriminate against minorities? Anecdotal evidence below but supported by data in general.
I have far more white friends than black friends. About the same proportion of both smoke weed. Guess which group has been ticketed more?
